UFC on FUEL TV 6: Cung Le vs. Rich Franklin full fight highlights

What was expected to be an evenly matched five-round headliner turned into a rather brief affair at Saturday’s UFC on FUEL TV 6 event.

In a clash of former big-show champions, Cung Le (9-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) used a perfectly placed overhand right to score a one-punch knockout of fellow middleweight Rich Franklin (29-7 MMA, 14-6 UFC).

Full fight video highlights are now available of the bout.

UFC on FUEL TV 6 took place at Macau Venetian Resort Hotel’s CotaiArena. The event, which aired in the early morning hours in the U.S., marked the UFC’s debut in China.

And the Vietnamese-born Le, who along with Korean fighter Dong Hyun Kim was one of the week’s most popular fights, didn’t fail to disappoint.

The former Strikeforce champion built off a recent UFC-debut win over Patrick Cote with a stunning knockout of former UFC champ Franklin. While Le appeared a bit flat early in the fight, he simply was waiting for his opening. And a little more than two minutes into the fight, he found it.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
